Prayer not working

[Brakeman]

So how does that work? Does your prayer group ask god to directly violate the laws of physics, or do they just ask him to change his omniscient unchangeable plan via magic woo?

Does any of your group ever get an actual answer, or are they satisfied with the "dial tone" of god? If your "two or more" group gets together, could they take a out-of-focus Polaroid of the holy spirit? The occult followers get those photos all the time, where's yours?

The Holy Spirit lives within us, go study scripture and stop asking childish questions.

Typical childish theist response to ignore the two difficult questions of "How could god change his previously perfect plans due to prayer" and "does god actually speak to you", to focus on the joke question about ghosts. But hey, I'll play along. Since you seem to know scripture so well, how is the ghost described in 1 Samuel chapter 28:7-25? Do you see any Theological problems with that ghost?
Anyway, if you say that the holy spirit lies within you, where exactly does it reside? Is it your kidneys? Jesus thought that your soul resided in one's kidneys. Do you agree with that? Or are you one that believes that the blood pumping organ, the heart, is where the soul and holy spirit can reside? (hint- It wasn't until modern times that we knew that the brain was the source of our conscientiousness, the bible writer's didn't know that! Hence their use of "searching one's reins. {Kidneys})

How do you know when the holy spirit has entered your kidneys/heart/brain, if you insist that he is not a visible apparition?
In ACTS 19 there were christians who believed in jesus, but had not yet received the holy spirit. Turns out they had a faulty baptism and had to be rebaptised. Do any of your flock need to be rebaptised? If they can't feel the holy spirit in their kidneys, then they had better try that....or beer!
